KANSAS CITY, MO – DirectTrust announced yesterday the election of Linda Van Horn, MBA, President/CEO of Kansas City’s own iShare Medical, to its Board of Directors. iShare Medical is one of only four companies that have achieved Accreditation as a Governmental Trust Anchor (GTAB). This means iShare Medical is qualified to provide trusted exchange of medical records with 23 Federal government agencies, including Medicare, Medicaid, Indian Health Services, and the Veterans Administration. iShare Medical, a member of DirectTrust, is also one of forty Accredited Trust Anchors and one of six Accredited Partnership for Patients Trust Anchors.

“It is a great honor to be recognized by your peers and to be elected to the DirectTrust Board of Directors”, Ms. Van Horn said.

iShare Medical is different from other EHR systems because iShare Medical is a complete medical record, organized around the person, that is easily and securely shared between trusted health care providers, devices, software programs and devices and available at your fingertips 24 / 7 / 365. In the past, doctors did not have a way to get access to their patients’ medical records from other health care organizations; so, they were forced to recreate the medical record.

“It was like 50 first dates; each physician asked the person the same questions over and over again,” said Van Horn, “no one had a complete medical record. Often, important information was left out”.

DirectTrust provides the “trust framework” that allows for the secure, encrypted exchange of medical records.

“At iShare Medical, we believe that securely sharing a person’s health care information with their doctor will help reduce cost, improve care and outcomes, and ultimately save lives,” Ms. Van Horn said. “It’s really about getting the right information on the right patient to the right provider at the right time, every time.”

DirectTrust is a national, non-profit association of 124 health information technology and health care provider organizations that work together to provide the safe, highly secure, private (encrypted) exchange of health information in the U.S. DirectTrust, created by a Grant from the Office of National Coordinator for Health Care Reform, does not provide any software, but rather creates the rules for the “trust framework” for a nationwide network. Its members, including iShare Medical, provides software as a service to more than half of all of the providers in the U.S. health care system for the the bi-directional exchange of health information between healthcare providers and between healthcare providers and patients.
